The neighborhood suddenly became a popular spot about two years ago, apparently after a photo taken in a particular angle showing Mount Fuji in the background of a local convenience store, became a social media sensation.

    Deliberately making your neighborhood less attractive in order to fend off tourists seems like the worst possible solution to this problem. Why ruin the view for locals?

      If it’s where I think it is, it’s not going to block the view for the locals. That’s not to say it won’t be an eyesore, but locals will often have their own views (and a ton of that town’s population lives more outside and inside is mostly just tourist stuff (hotels, onsen, parks, etc.)).

      Edit: unbalanced parenthesis :/

      Edit 2: yeah, looks like the one I’m thinking of. Dentist office opposite it. https://maps.app.goo.gl/gvtEEggMEzKwTa3B8

      locals don’t give a shit about ‘views’. they just want to live their lives unimpeded by assholes and idiots
